Description

Die Erfindung betrifft gemäß dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 eine Behälteraufsteller-Vorrichtung, insbesondere Siloaufsteller-Vorrichtung, für ein Nutzfahrzeug mit einem Kipprahmen zum Aufnehmen und Handhaben eines Behälters, z.B. Silobehälters, Wechselbehälters, Tankbehälters oder Abrollbehälters, wobei der Kipprahmen mittels wenigstens eines Kipprahmen-Hydraulikzylinders um eine Schwenkachse schwenkbar ist. Ferner betrifft die Erfindung gemäß dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 10 ein Nutzfahrzeug mit einer derartigen Siloaufsteller-Vorrichtung.
Herkömmlicherweise sind derartige Behälteraufsteller-Vorrichtungen an Nutzfahrzeugen vorgesehen, um Behälter, wie beispielsweise Silobehälter, zu transportieren und aufzustellen, siehe z.B. das Dokument DE 35 26 209 A1 . Derartige bekannte Siloaufsteller weisen mehrere große und schwere Hydraulikzylinder auf. Neben zwei Hydraulikzylindern zum Schwenken des Kipprahmens, nachfolgend als Kipprahmen-Hydraulikzylinder bezeichnete Hydraulikzylinder, ist herkömmlicherweise ein weiterer mittig am Kipprahmen angeordneter leistungsstarker Hydraulikzylinder vorgesehen, mittels dem ein Zwischenrahmen in Längsrichtung des Kipprahmens verfahren werden kann. Mittels dieses mittig angeordneten Hydraulikzylinders kann nicht nur ein auf dem Boden stehender Silobehälter angehoben werden, sondern mittels dieses Hydraulikzylinders zudem vom Nutzfahrzeug auf einen Anhänger bzw. von diesem Anhänger auf das Nutzfahrzeug verschoben werden. Auf diese Weise können zwei Silobehälter von einem aus einem Zugfahrzeug und einem Anhänger bestehenden Fahrzeugzug transportiert werden, obgleich nur eine Siloaufsteller-Vorrichtung am Fahrzeug zur Verfügung steht.The invention relates according to the preamble of claim 1, a container display device, in particular Siloaufsteller device for a commercial vehicle with a tilting frame for receiving and handling a container, eg silo container, swap body, tank container or Abrollbehälters, wherein the tilting frame by means of at least one tilting frame hydraulic cylinder is pivotable about a pivot axis. Furthermore, the invention according to the preamble of claim 10 relates to a commercial vehicle with such a silo-setting device.
Conventionally, such container display devices are provided on commercial vehicles for transporting and setting up containers, such as silo containers, for example, see the document DE 35 26 209 A1 , Such known silo erector have several large and heavy hydraulic cylinder. In addition to two hydraulic cylinders for pivoting the tilting frame, hereinafter referred to as hydraulic cylinder tilting frame hydraulic cylinder, another centrally located on the tilting frame high-performance hydraulic cylinder is conventionally provided by means of an intermediate frame in the longitudinal direction of the tilting frame can be moved. By means of this centrally located hydraulic cylinder not only a standing on the ground silo container can be raised, but also be moved by the truck to a trailer or from this trailer to the commercial vehicle by means of this hydraulic cylinder. In this way, two silo containers can be transported by a vehicle train consisting of a towing vehicle and a trailer, although only one silo display device is available on the vehicle.

Der mittig angeordnete Hydraulikzylinder muss zu diesem Zweck jedoch beispielsweise den auf dem Zugfahrzeug aufliegenden Silobehälter bis auf den Anhänger verschieben können. Aus diesem Grund ist es erforderlich, dass dieser Hydraulikzylinder eine erhebliche Baulänge aufweist. Dieses Erfordernis führt zu einem raumgreifenden und schweren Aufbau, welcher die Nutzlast des Nutzfahrzeuges reduziert. Entsprechendes gilt für die Handhabung anderer Behälter, wie z.B. Wechselbehälter.However, for this purpose, the centrally arranged hydraulic cylinder must be able to displace, for example, the silo container resting on the towing vehicle up to the trailer. For this reason, it is necessary that this hydraulic cylinder has a considerable length. This requirement leads to a bulky and heavy structure, which reduces the payload of the commercial vehicle. The same applies to the handling of other containers, such as e.g. Swap bodies.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zu Grunde, die Nutzlast derartiger Nutzfahrzeuge zu erhöhen.The invention is therefore based on the object to increase the payload of such commercial vehicles.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe mit einer Behälteraufsteller-Vorrichtung, insbesondere Siloaufsteller-Vorrichtung, mit den Merkmalen gemäß Anspruch 1 sowie mit einem Nutzfahrzeug mit den Merkmalen gemäß Anspruch 10.The invention solves this problem with a container display device, in particular silo display device, with the features according to claim 1 and with a commercial vehicle with the features according to claim 10.

Eine erfindungsgemäße Behälteraufsteller-Vorrichtung für ein Nutzfahrzeug sieht demnach neben dem eingangs genannten Kipprahmen zur Aufnahme und Handhabung eines Behälters, z.B. Silobehälters, Wechselbehälters, Tankbehälters oder Abrollbehälters, am heckseitigen Endabschnitt des Kipprahmens eine angetriebene Traktionsrolle vor, mittels der der Behälter in Längsrichtung des Kipprahmens verschiebbar ist.A container display device according to the invention for a commercial vehicle therefore sees next to the above-mentioned tilting frame for receiving and handling a container, e.g. Silo container, swap body, tank container or Abrollbehälters, at the rear end portion of the tilting frame before a driven traction roller, by means of the container in the longitudinal direction of the tilting frame is displaceable.

Das erfindungsgemäße Nutzfahrzeug weist demnach eine erfindungsgemäße Behälteraufsteller-Vorrichtung, insbesondere Siloaufsteller-Vorrichtung, auf.The commercial vehicle according to the invention accordingly has a container display device according to the invention, in particular a silo display device.

Mittels der Traktionsrolle kann der von dem Kipprahmen aufgenommene Behälter nach im Wesentlichen waagerechter Ausrichtung des Kipprahmens und somit auf der Seite liegender Ausrichtung des Behälters vom Zugfahrzeug auf den Anhänger befördert werden. Eine übliche Bauform eines Behälters weist zwei Längsstreben auf, welche sich im Wesentlichen über seine gesamte Länge erstrecken. Diese Längsstreben liegen auf der Traktionsrolle auf, wenn der Behälter sich auf dem Zugfahrzeug befindet. Wird die Traktionsrolle nun angetrieben - von der linken Seite des Fahrzeugs auf das Fahrzeug gesehen im Uhrzeigersinn -, so wird der Behälter nach hinten in Richtung eines Anhängers befördert. Idealerweise ist der Anhänger bei diesem Vorgang mit seinem Heck zum Heck des Zugfahrzeugs hin ausgerichtet. Somit muss nämlich der Behälter nicht über die Deichsel des Anhängers hinweg auf den Anhänger befördert werden.By means of the traction roller, the container received by the tilting frame can be conveyed to the trailer from the towing vehicle after the hopper frame has been oriented substantially horizontally and thus on the side of the container. A common design of a container has two longitudinal struts which extend substantially over its entire length. These longitudinal struts rest on the traction roller when the container is on the towing vehicle. If the traction roller is now driven - seen from the left side of the vehicle on the vehicle clockwise -, the container is transported backwards in the direction of a trailer. Ideally, the trailer is aligned in this process with its rear to the rear of the towing vehicle. Thus, the container does not have to be transported over the drawbar of the trailer on the trailer.

Zum Abladen eines Fahrzeugzugs mit zwei Behältern - jeweils einem Behälter auf dem Anhänger und einem Behälter auf dem Zugfahrzeug - wird zunächst der Anhänger vom Zugfahrzeug getrennt und dann der Behälter des Zugfahrzeugs abgeladen und aufgestellt, indem der Kipprahmen in eine im Wesentlichen senkrechte Stellung verschwenkt wird. Ein Lösen des Kipprahmens vom Behälter erfolgt dann beispielsweise,

  1. a) indem ein oberer verschiebbarer Teil des Kipprahmens nach unten verschoben wird oder
  2. b) indem heckseitige, hydraulisch betätigbare Stützbeine am Fahrzeug abgesenkt werden oder
  3. c) indem eine Hubachse des Fahrzeugs den Fahrzeugrahmen absenkt oder
  4. d) indem der Kipprahmen über die senkrechte Stellung hinaus verschwenkt wird, so dass das obere Ende des Kipprahmens absinkt.
Es gibt somit verschiedene Möglichkeiten, wie nach dem Aufstellen eines Behälters der Behälter vom Kipprahmen gelöst werden kann.To unload a vehicle train with two containers - one container on the trailer and one container on the towing vehicle - the trailer is first separated from the towing vehicle and then unloaded and placed the container of the towing vehicle by the tilting frame is pivoted to a substantially vertical position. A release of the tilting frame from the container then takes place, for example,
  1. a) by an upper sliding part of the tilting frame is moved down or
  2. b) by the rear-side, hydraulically actuated support legs are lowered on the vehicle or
  3. c) by a lifting axle of the vehicle lowers the vehicle frame or
  4. d) by the tilting frame is pivoted beyond the vertical position, so that the upper end of the tilting frame is lowered.
There are thus various ways in which, after the installation of a container, the container can be released from the tilting frame.

Sodann fährt das Zugfahrzeug rückwärts an das heckseitige Ende des Anhängers heran und zwar mit teilweise verschwenktem Kipprahmen, so dass der hintere Teil des Kipprahmens unter den sich auf dem Anhänger befindenden Behälter untergreifen kann. Anschließend wird der Kipprahmen wieder in eine im Wesentlichen horizontale Lage verschwenkt, wobei das hintere Ende des Kipprahmens nun in Kontakt mit den Längsstreben des sich auf dem Anhänger befindenden Behälters befindet. Nun wird die Traktionsrolle in einer Richtung angetrieben, die bei Betrachtung des Zugfahrzeugs von dessen linker Seite gegen den Uhrzeigersinn gerichtet ist. Auf diese Weise wird der Behälter des Anhängers in Richtung des Fahrerhauses des Zugfahrzeugs befördert. Durch fortgesetztes Antreiben der Traktionsrolle gelangt der Behälter des Anhängers schließlich in die gleiche Position wie der zuvor abgeladene Silobehälter. Zum Aufstellen dieses Behälters wird nunmehr, wie vorstehend beschrieben, verfahren, d.h., der Kipprahmen wird wieder in eine aufrechte Position verschwenkt.Then the towing vehicle moves backwards to the rear end of the trailer zoom with partially tilted tilting frame, so that the rear part of the tilting frame can engage under the located on the trailer container. Subsequently, the tilting frame is again pivoted into a substantially horizontal position, the rear end of the tilting frame now being in contact with the longitudinal struts of the container located on the trailer. Now, the traction roller is driven in a direction that is directed counterclockwise when looking at the towing vehicle from its left side. In this way, the container of the trailer is conveyed in the direction of the cab of the towing vehicle. By continuing to drive the traction roller, the container of the trailer finally arrives in the same position as the previously unloaded silo container. To set up this container is now, as described above, proceed, ie, the tilting frame is pivoted back into an upright position.

Die erfindungsgemäße Traktionsrolle erfordert nur einen kleinen Bauraum im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen Hydraulikzylindern zum Verschieben eines Behälters. Zudem spart diese Traktionsrolle Gewicht im Vergleich zu einem großen Hydraulikzylinder. Dieses eingesparte Gewicht kommt der Nutzlast des Fahrzeugs zugute. Darüber hinaus können beispielsweise Silobehälter weniger aufwändig ausgestaltet werden als herkömmliche Silobehälter, die eine am oberen Ende eines Silobehälters (im aufgestellten Zustand betrachtet) vorgesehene Aufnahmeeinrichtung für herkömmliche Siloaufsteller aufweisen. Derartige Aufnahmeeinrichtungen führen nämlich zu einer erheblichen Belastung des Silobehälters an dessen oberem Deckel, was eine Verstärkung des Silobehälters in diesem Bereich erforderlich macht. Diese Verstärkung erfordert jedoch zusätzliches Material, welches wiederum zu einer Gewichtserhöhung führt. Dank der erfindungsgemäßen Konstruktion ist eine derartige Verstärkung des Silobehälters in seinem oberen Bereich jedoch nicht mehr notwendig. Die somit vermiedene Gewichtserhöhung bei der Konstruktion des Silobehälters führt wiederum dazu, dass der Silobehälter mit einem höheren Gewicht des zu transportierenden bzw. im Silobehälter zu bevorratenden Materials beladen werden kann. Somit kann dank der Erfindung auch die Nutzlast des Silobehälters gesteigert werden. Insgesamt erlaubt die Erfindung somit eine Nutzlaststeigerung sowohl im Hinblick auf das Nutzfahrzeug als auch im Hinblick auf den Behälter.The traction roller according to the invention requires only a small space compared to conventional hydraulic cylinders for moving a container. In addition, this traction roller saves weight compared to a large hydraulic cylinder. This saved weight benefits the payload of the vehicle. In addition, for example, silo containers can be made less complicated than conventional silo containers, which have a receiving device for conventional silo erectors provided at the upper end of a silo container (viewed in the erected state). Namely, such recording devices lead to a considerable burden of the silo tank on the upper lid, which makes it necessary to strengthen the silo in this area. However, this reinforcement requires additional material, which in turn leads to an increase in weight. Thanks to the construction according to the invention, however, such reinforcement of the silo container in its upper region is no longer necessary. The thus avoided weight increase in the construction of the silo container in turn means that the silo container can be loaded with a higher weight of the material to be transported or stored in the silo container. Thus, thanks to the invention, the payload of the silo container can be increased. Overall, the invention thus allows a payload increase both in terms of the commercial vehicle as well as in terms of the container.

Gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist die Traktionsrolle mittels eines Hydraulikmotors angetrieben. Diese Ausgestaltung hat den Vorteil eines leistungsstarken Antriebs bei gleichzeitig kleiner Bauweise. Zusätzlich oder alternativ zum Hydraulikmotor ist die Traktionsrolle mittels eines Elektromotors angetrieben.According to one embodiment of the invention, the traction roller is driven by means of a hydraulic motor. This embodiment has the advantage of a powerful drive with a smaller size. In addition or as an alternative to the hydraulic motor, the traction roller is driven by means of an electric motor.

Gemäß einer weiteren Weiterbildung der Erfindung weist die Behälteraufsteller-Vorrichtung eine Hakeneinrichtung auf, die am Kipprahmen angeordnet ist, insbesondere an einem Zwischenrahmen, der in Längsrichtung des Kipprahmens mittels wenigstens eines Zwischenrahmen-Hydraulikzylinders verfahrbar ist. Dank dieser Ausgestaltung kann der Behälter mittels des Zwischenrahmens angehoben werden, bevor er gekippt wird. Ein Anheben vor dem Kippen ist vorteilhaft, um etwaige Beschädigungen des Behälters zu vermeiden. Zwar kann grundsätzlich der Behälter auch aus dem Stand heraus gekippt werden. Dies führt jedoch zu einer erheblichen Belastung des Standfußes des Behälters und erfordert daher eine zusätzliche Versteifung des Standfußes. Eine derartige Versteifung ist jedoch entbehrlich oder kann weniger aufwändig ausgeführt werden, wenn der Behälter vor dem Kippen angehoben wird. Dies ist dank des verfahrbaren Zwischenrahmens mit Hakeneinrichtung möglich.According to a further development of the invention, the container display device has a hook device which is arranged on the tilting frame, in particular on an intermediate frame, which is in the longitudinal direction of the tilting frame by means of at least one intermediate frame hydraulic cylinder is movable. Thanks to this configuration, the container can be lifted by means of the intermediate frame before it is tilted. Lifting before tilting is advantageous in order to avoid any damage to the container. Although in principle the container can also be tilted out of the state. However, this leads to a considerable load on the base of the container and therefore requires an additional stiffening of the base. However, such stiffening is unnecessary or can be carried out less expensive if the container is lifted before tilting. This is possible thanks to the movable intermediate frame with hook device.

Eine Weiterbildung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die Hakeneinrichtung einen Aufnahmehaken zum Aufnehmen des Behälters aufweist, wobei der Aufnahmehaken einen ausgefahrenen Zustand und einen eingefahrenen Zustand einnehmen kann. Im ausgefahrenen Zustand steht der Aufnahmehaken gegenüber dem Gehäuse der Hakeneinrichtung hervor, während der Aufnahmehaken im eingefahrenen Zustand nicht aus dem Gehäuse hervorsteht. Der Aufnahmehaken kann somit in seinem ausgefahrenen Zustand mit einem korrespondierenden Bolzen des Behälters in Eingriff gebracht werden, während er in seinem eingefahrenen Zustand eine ungehinderte Relativbewegung der Hakeneinrichtung gegenüber dem Bolzen zulässt. Der Behälter kann somit vom Zugfahrzeug auf den Anhänger befördert werden, ohne dass der Aufnahmehaken dieses Befördern behindert.A development of the invention provides that the hook device has a receiving hook for receiving the container, wherein the receiving hook can assume an extended state and a retracted state. In the extended state, the receiving hook projects with respect to the housing of the hook device, while the receiving hook does not protrude out of the housing in the retracted state. The receiving hook can thus be brought into its extended state with a corresponding pin of the container in engagement, while allowing in its retracted state an unhindered relative movement of the hook means relative to the bolt. The container can thus be transported from the towing vehicle to the trailer without the receiving hook obstructing this conveyance.

Gemäß einer Weiterbildung ist der Aufnahmehaken mittels eines Stellantriebs, beispielsweise eines Pneumatikzylinders oder Elektroantriebs, verschwenkbar und/oder versenkbar. Dieser Stellantrieb kann den Aufnahmehaken von seinem ausgefahrenen Zustand in seinen eingefahrenen Zustand verbringen und umgekehrt. Ein Pneumatikzylinder stellt eine einfache, zuverlässige, sichere und kostengünstige Konstruktion für die Verstellung des Aufnahmehakens bereit. Eine pneumatische Ausgestaltung dieses Zylinders ist darüber hinaus deshalb vorteilhaft, da Nutzfahrzeuge ohnehin regelmäßig mit pneumatischen Systemen, insbesondere pneumatischen Bremssystemen, ausgestattet sind und daher Druckluft ohnehin zur Verfügung steht. An die Druckluftaufbereitung derartiger vorhandener pneumatischer Systeme wird vorteilhaft dieser Pneumatikzylinder unter Zwischenschaltung entsprechender Ventileinrichtungen zur Steuerung des Pneumatikzylinders angeschlossen.According to a development of the receiving hook by means of an actuator, such as a pneumatic cylinder or electric drive, pivotable and / or retractable. This actuator can spend the hanger from its extended state to its retracted state, and vice versa. A pneumatic cylinder provides a simple, reliable, safe and cost-effective design for the adjustment of the pick-up hook. A pneumatic design of this cylinder is also advantageous because commercial vehicles are already regularly equipped with pneumatic systems, in particular pneumatic brake systems, and therefore compressed air anyway available. At the compressed air preparation of such existing pneumatic systems, this pneumatic cylinder is advantageously connected with the interposition of appropriate valve means for controlling the pneumatic cylinder.

Gemäß einer Weiterbildung weist die Hakeneinrichtung eine Sicherungsfalle auf, die einen ausgefahrenen und einen eingefahrenen Zustand einnehmen kann, wobei im ausgefahrenen Zustand die Sicherungsfalle gegenüber dem Gehäuse der Hakeneinrichtung hervorsteht und im eingefahrenen Zustand die Sicherungsfalle nicht aus dem Gehäuse hervorsteht. Die Sicherungsfalle verhindert im ausgefahrenen Zustand, dass der Bolzen aus dem Aufnahmehaken heraustreten kann. Im eingefahrenen Zustand der Sicherungsfalle wird jedoch eine Relativbewegung der Hakeneinrichtung gegenüber dem Bolzen zumindest in einer Richtung zugelassen. Somit kann der Bolzen mit dem Aufnahmehaken in Eingriff gebracht werden und anschließend diese Verbindung zwischen Bolzen und Aufnahmehaken mittels der Sicherungsfalle gesichert werden. Die Sicherungsfalle verhindert dabei insbesondere ein Herausspringen des Behälters aus dem Kipprahmen während der Fahrt, insbesondere bei unebenen Bodenbeschaffenheiten, wie sie unter anderem regelmäßig auf Baustellen zu erwarten sind.According to a further development, the hook device has a safety catch which can assume an extended and a retracted state, wherein in the extended state the safety catch protrudes from the housing of the hook device and the safety catch does not protrude out of the housing in the retracted state. The safety catch prevents in the extended state that the bolt can emerge from the receiving hook. In the retracted state of the safety latch, however, a relative movement of the hook device relative to the bolt is permitted at least in one direction. Thus, the bolt can be brought into engagement with the receiving hook and subsequently this connection between the bolt and the receiving hook can be secured by means of the securing latch. The safety catch prevents in particular a jumping out of the container from the dumping frame while driving, especially in uneven ground conditions, as they are to be expected among other things regularly on construction sites.

Gemäß einer Weiterbildung ist die Sicherungsfalle mittels eines weiteren Stellantriebs, insbesondere Pneumatikzylinders, verschwenkbar und/oder versenkbar. Mittels dieses weiteren Stellantriebs kann die Sicherungsfalle vom ausgefahrenen Zustand in den eingefahrenen Zustand wechseln und umgekehrt. Ein Pneumatikzylinder stellt ebenso wie der zuvor beschriebene Pneumatikzylinder für den Aufnahmehaken eine einfache, zuverlässige, sichere und kostengünstige Konstruktion für die Verstellung der Sicherungsfalle bereit. Auch hier ist die pneumatische Ausgestaltung dieses Pneumatikzylinders vorteilhaft, da das Nutzfahrzeug mit einem pneumatischen System, wie insbesondere einem pneumatischen Bremssystem, ausgestattet ist, an dessen Druckluftaufbereitung der Pneumatikzylinder unter Zwischenschaltung entsprechender Ventileinrichtungen zur Steuerung des Pneumatikzylinders angeschlossen ist.According to a development, the safety catch is pivotable and / or retractable by means of a further actuator, in particular a pneumatic cylinder. By means of this further actuator, the safety latch can change from the extended state to the retracted state and vice versa. A pneumatic cylinder provides as well as the previously described pneumatic cylinder for the receiving hook a simple, reliable, safe and inexpensive construction for the adjustment of the safety catch. Again, the pneumatic design of this pneumatic cylinder is advantageous because the commercial vehicle is equipped with a pneumatic system, in particular a pneumatic brake system, is connected to the compressed air treatment of the pneumatic cylinder with the interposition of appropriate valve means for controlling the pneumatic cylinder.

Gemäß einer Weiterbildung fixiert der Aufnahmehaken, wenn er sich im eingefahrenen Zustand befindet, die Sicherungsfalle, wenn sich diese ebenfalls im eingefahrenen Zustand befindet. Durch diese Fixierung muss nur eines der beiden den Aufnahmehaken und die Sicherungsfalle umfassenden Organe gesichert werden, damit beide Organe in ihrem eingefahrenen Zustand verbleiben.According to a further development, the receiving hook, when it is in the retracted state, fixes the safety catch when it is also in the retracted state. Due to this fixation, only one of the two organs comprising the receiving hooks and the safety catch has to be secured so that both organs remain in their retracted state.

Gemäß einer weiteren Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist die Schwenkachse parallel, jedoch beabstandet von der Traktionsrolle angeordnet und zwar in Fahrtrichtung des Nutzfahrzeugs betrachtet vor der Traktionsrolle. Der Abstand zwischen Schwenkachse und Traktionsrolle ist dabei jedoch im Verhältnis zur Länge des Kipprahmens klein. Dank dieser Ausgestaltung wird die Traktionsrolle nach unten verschwenkt, wenn der Kipprahmen bzw. ein Hauptabschnitt des Kipprahmens nach oben verschwenkt wird. Die Traktionsrolle kann somit unter einen sich auf einem Anhänger befindenden Behälter geschoben werden, wenn der Kipprahmen in einem mittleren Grad verschwenkt ist, beispielsweise um 20° bis 70°, insbesondere 30° bis 60°. Wird nun der Kipprahmen wieder in seine Ruheposition verschwenkt, d.h. in eine im Wesentlichen horizontale Lage, wird die Traktionsrolle angehoben und gerät, wie zuvor beschrieben, in Kontakt mit den Längsstreben des Behälters. In dieser Position lässt sich ein auf dem Anhänger befindender Behälter durch Antrieb der Traktionsrolle in Richtung des Zugfahrzeugs bzw. dessen Fahrerhaus befördern.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the pivot axis is arranged parallel, but spaced from the traction roller and viewed in the direction of travel of the commercial vehicle in front of the traction roller. However, the distance between the pivot axis and the traction roller is small in relation to the length of the tilting frame. Thanks to this configuration, the traction roller is pivoted downward when the tilting frame or a main portion of the tilting frame is pivoted upwards. The traction roller can thus be pushed under a container located on a trailer when the tilting frame is pivoted in a medium degree, for example by 20 ° to 70 °, in particular 30 ° to 60 °. If now the tilting frame is pivoted back to its rest position, i. In a substantially horizontal position, the traction roller is lifted and, as described above, in contact with the longitudinal struts of the container. In this position, a container located on the trailer can be transported by driving the traction roller in the direction of the towing vehicle or its cab.

Fig. 1 zeigt ein erfindungsgemäßes Nutzfahrzeug 10 mit einer daran angebrachten erfindungsgemäßen Siloaufsteller-Vorrichtung 12 zum Aufstellen und Handhaben von Silobehältern. Die Erfindung ist jedoch nicht auf die Handhabung von Silobehältern beschränkt, sondern kann auch für die Handhabung anderer Behälter, insbesondere nach DIN 30722, Tankbehälter, insbesondere senkrecht stehende Tankbehälter, Wechselbehälter oder Abrollbehälter, zum Einsatz kommen. Fig. 1 shows a commercial vehicle 10 according to the invention with a Siloaufsteller device 12 according to the invention mounted thereon for setting up and handling silo containers. However, the invention is not limited to the handling of silo containers, but can also be used for the handling of other containers, in particular according to DIN 30722, tank containers, in particular vertical tank containers, swap bodies or roll-off containers.

Die Siloaufsteller-Vorrichtung 12 umfasst einen Kipprahmen 14, der über eine Schwenkachse 16 mit einem Fahrzeugrahmen 18 des Nutzfahrzeugs 10 schwenkbar verbunden ist. Die Schwenkachse 16 befindet sich im heckseitigen Bereich des Fahrzeugrahmens 18. Sie ist parallel zur Querachse des Fahrzeugrahmens 18 angeordnet.The silo-setting device 12 comprises a tilting frame 14, which is pivotally connected via a pivot axis 16 with a vehicle frame 18 of the utility vehicle 10. The pivot axis 16 is located in the rear region of the vehicle frame 18. It is arranged parallel to the transverse axis of the vehicle frame 18.

Der Kipprahmen 14 weist einen Hauptabschnitt 20 auf, der sich gemäß Fig. 1 von der Schwenkachse 16 bis zum aufstellbaren Ende 22 erstreckt. In einem mittleren Bereich des Hauptabschnitts 20 ist auch an jeder Seite des Kipprahmens 14 jeweils ein Kipprahmen-Hydraulikzylinder 24 gelenkig mit dem Kipprahmen 14 verbunden. Das jeweils andere Ende dieser Kipprahmen-Hauptzylinder 24 ist gelenkig mit dem Fahrzeugrahmen 18 verbunden.The tilting frame 14 has a main portion 20, which according to Fig. 1 from the pivot axis 16 to the deployable end 22 extends. In a central region of the main section 20, a tilting-frame hydraulic cylinder 24 is also pivotably connected to the tilting frame 14 on each side of the tilting frame 14. The respective other end of this tilt frame master cylinder 24 is pivotally connected to the vehicle frame 18.

Der Kipprahmen 14 weist einen sich gemäß der Darstellung nach Fig. 1 unterhalb der Schwenkachse 16 erstreckenden hinteren Abschnitt 26 auf. Am freien Ende dieses hinteren Abschnitts 26 ist ein Hydraulikmotor 28 mit einer Traktionsrolle 30 angeordnet, welche sich in Querrichtung des Fahrzeugsrahmens erstreckt. Diese Traktionsrolle 30 verläuft parallel zur Schwenkachse 16. Die Traktionsrolle 30 weist zwei äußere Bereiche - nämlich einen zur linken und einen zur rechten Fahrzeugseite hin ausgerichteten Bereich - auf, die drehbar vom Hydraulikmotor angetrieben sind und eine raue, insbesondere gezahnte, Oberflächengestaltung aufweisen. Ferner sind an jeder Längsseite des Kipprahmens 14 ein oder mehrere Lagerrollen 32, 34 vorgesehen. Die äußeren Bereiche der Traktionsrolle 30 weisen einen Abstand auf, der im Wesentlichen dem Abstand in Fahrzeugquerrichtung der Lagerrollen 32, 34 entspricht.The tilting frame 14 has a according to the illustration according to Fig. 1 below the pivot axis 16 extending rear portion 26. At the free end of this rear portion 26, a hydraulic motor 28 is arranged with a traction roller 30 which extends in the transverse direction of the vehicle frame. This traction roller 30 extends parallel to the pivot axis 16. The traction roller 30 has two outer areas - namely an area oriented towards the left and a right side of the vehicle - which are rotatably driven by the hydraulic motor and have a rough, in particular toothed, surface configuration. Furthermore, one or more bearing rollers 32, 34 are provided on each longitudinal side of the tilting frame 14. The outer regions of the traction roller 30 have a spacing which essentially corresponds to the distance in the vehicle transverse direction of the bearing rollers 32, 34.

Im Bereich zwischen dem Hydraulikzylinder 24 und dem Ende 22 des Kipprahmens 14 weist der Kipprahmen 14 einen Zwischenrahmen 36 auf, der in Längsrichtung des Kipprahmens 14 mittels wenigstens eines Zwischenrahmen-Hydraulikzylinders verfahrbar ist. Im Bereich des aufstellbaren Endes 22 des Kipprahmens 14, vorzugsweise am Zwischenrahmen 36, ist jeweils eine Hakeneinrichtung 38 auf der linken Seite und der rechten Seite des Kipprahmens 14 bzw. des Zwischenrahmens 36 vorgesehen.In the area between the hydraulic cylinder 24 and the end 22 of the tilting frame 14, the tilting frame 14 has an intermediate frame 36, which is movable in the longitudinal direction of the tilting frame 14 by means of at least one intermediate frame hydraulic cylinder. In the region of the deployable end 22 of the tilting frame 14, preferably on the intermediate frame 36, a respective hook device 38 is provided on the left side and the right side of the tilting frame 14 and the intermediate frame 36, respectively.

Jede dieser weiter unten im Detail beschriebenen Hakeneinrichtungen 38 kann jeweils mit einem korrespondierenden Bolzen 40 in Eingriff gebracht werden, der an einer von zwei sich parallel zur Längsachse eines Silobehälters 42 erstreckenden Längsstreben 44 angebracht ist. Diese Längsstreben 44 erstrecken sich vorzugsweise im Wesentlichen vom Bodenbereich des Silobehälters 42 bis zu seinem oberen Endabschnitt. Diese Bolzen 40 dienen zum Anheben des Silobehälters 42. Ferner dienen diese Bolzen 40 dazu, den Silobehälter 42 sichern zu können.Each of these hook means 38, described in detail below, may be engaged with a corresponding pin 40 attached to one of two longitudinal struts 44 extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of a silo box 42. These longitudinal struts 44 preferably extend substantially from the bottom region of the silo container 42 to its upper end portion. These bolts 40 are used to lift the silo 42. Furthermore, these bolts 40 are used to secure the silo 42 can.

Der Abstand der Längsstreben 44 entspricht im Wesentlichen dem oben genannten Abstand der äußeren Bereiche der Traktionsrolle 30 sowie im Wesentlichen dem oben genannten Querabstand der Lagerrollen 32, 34. Auf diese Weise kann ein Silobehälter, der auf einen im Wesentlichen horizontal ausgerichteten Kipprahmen 14 liegt, mittels der Traktionsrolle 30 sowie den Lagerrollen 32, 34 in Längsrichtung des Nutzfahrzeugs 10 bewegt werden.The distance between the longitudinal struts 44 substantially corresponds to the abovementioned distance between the outer regions of the traction roller 30 and substantially the abovementioned transverse spacing of the bearing rollers 32, 34. In this way, a silo container lying on a substantially horizontally oriented tilting frame 14 can be used the traction roller 30 and the bearing rollers 32, 34 are moved in the longitudinal direction of the utility vehicle 10.

Am heckseitigen Endbereich des Fahrzeugrahmens 18 sind rechts und links am Fahrzeugrahmen 18 hydraulisch betätigbare Stützbeine 46 vorgesehen, die zum Festlegen des Fahrzeugrahmens 18 gegenüber dem Untergrund 48 dienen, wenn ein Silobehälter 42 aufgestellt bzw. aufgenommen wird. Am frontseitigen Endbereich des Fahrzeugrahmens 18 schließt sich das Fahrerhaus 50 an.At the rear end portion of the vehicle frame 18 18 hydraulically actuated support legs 46 are provided on the right and left of the vehicle frame, which serve to set the vehicle frame 18 relative to the substrate 48 when a silo 42 is set up or recorded. At the front end region of the vehicle frame 18, the cab 50 connects.

Die Betätigung der genannten Hydraulikzylinder, insbesondere der Kipprahmen-Hydraulikzylinder 24, des oder der Zwischenrahmen-Hydraulikzylinder sowie der hydraulisch betätigbaren Stützbeine 46 erfolgt über eine im Fahrerhaus 50 und/oder am Fahrzeugrahmen 18 angeordnete, nicht dargestellte Steuerungseinrichtung, die vorzugsweise im Bereich eines Auflagebocks 52 zur Auflage des Kipprahmens 14 angeordnet ist. Mittels dieser Steuerungseinrichtung kann zudem die Hakeneinrichtung 38 betätigt werden, wie weiter unten näher ausgeführt ist.The actuation of said hydraulic cylinder, in particular the tilting frame hydraulic cylinder 24, the or the intermediate frame hydraulic cylinder and the hydraulically actuated support legs 46 via a arranged in the cab 50 and / or on the vehicle frame 18, not shown control device, preferably in the region of a support block 52nd is arranged to support the tilting frame 14. By means of this control device, moreover, the hook device 38 can be actuated, as explained in more detail below.

Fig. 2a bis 2d veranschaulichen den Vorgang des Aufladens eines Silobehälters 42 auf ein Nutzfahrzeug 10 gemäß Fig. 1:
Das Nutzfahrzeug 10 fährt rückwärts an den Silobehälter 42 heran, wie in Fig. 2a dargestellt. Sodann betätigt der Fahrer mithilfe der Steuerungseinrichtung die Kipprahmen-Hauptzylinder 24, welche den Kipprahmen 14 verschwenken, so dass der Kipprahmen 14 schließlich eine im Wesentlichen senkrechte Position einnimmt, wie in Fig. 2b dargestellt. Sodann fährt das Nutzfahrzeug 10 weiter rückwärts bis schließlich die Lagerrollen 32, 34 sowie die Hakeneinrichtung 38 an den Längsstreben 44 des Silobehälters 42 anliegen, wie in Fig. 2c dargestellt. Fig. 2a to 2d illustrate the process of charging a silo container 42 onto a commercial vehicle 10 according to FIG Fig. 1 :
The commercial vehicle 10 moves backwards to the silo 42, as in Fig. 2a shown. Then, the driver operates by means of the control device, the tilt frame master cylinder 24, which pivot the tilting frame 14, so that the tilting frame 14 finally assumes a substantially vertical position, as in Fig. 2b shown. Then the commercial vehicle 10 continues to move backwards until finally the bearing rollers 32, 34 and the hook device 38 rest on the longitudinal struts 44 of the silo container 42, as in FIG Fig. 2c shown.

Sodann wird der Silobehälter 42 vom Kipprahmen 14 angehoben. Dies kann beispielsweise dadurch erfolgen, dass der Zwischenrahmen 36 mittels des Zwischenrahmen-Hydraulikzylinders ausgefahren wird, bis die Hakeneinrichtung 38 vollständig unter den Bolzen 40 am Silobehälter 42 eingreift. Eine andere Möglichkeit besteht darin, die Stützbeine 46 auszufahren, bis der Silobehälter 42 angehoben wird. Sofern das Nutzfahrzeug 10 mit einer Hubachse und/oder einer Niveauregulierung des Fahrzeugrahmens ausgestattet ist, kann durch ein Anheben des Fahrzeugrahmens der Silobehälter 42 ebenfalls angehoben werden. Eine weitere Möglichkeit besteht darin, den Kipprahmen 14 über die senkrechte Stellung hinaus weiter zu verschwenken, so dass der Kipprahmen 14 beispielsweise eine Schwenkbewegung von 110° gegenüber der in Fig. 2a dargestellten horizontalen Ausrichtung vollführt und erst dann mit dem Nutzfahrzeug 10 an den Silobehälter 42 heranzufahren, so dass lediglich die Hakeneinrichtungen 38 mit den Längsstreben 44 in Kontakt gelangen. Durch gleichzeitiges Zurückschwenken des Kipprahmens 14 und weiteres Rückwärtsfahren kann ebenfalls der Silobehälter 42 angehoben werden.Then, the silo 42 is raised by the tilting frame 14. This can be done, for example, that the intermediate frame 36 is extended by means of the intermediate frame hydraulic cylinder until the hook means 38 fully engages under the bolt 40 on the silo 42. Another possibility is to extend the support legs 46 until the silo 42 is raised. If the utility vehicle 10 is equipped with a lifting axle and / or a level control of the vehicle frame, can by lifting the vehicle frame of the silo 42 are also raised. Another possibility is to further tilt the tilting frame 14 beyond the vertical position, so that the tilting frame 14, for example, a pivoting movement of 110 ° relative to the in Fig. 2a shown horizontal alignment and only then zoom in with the commercial vehicle 10 to the silo 42, so that only the hook means 38 reach the longitudinal struts 44 in contact. By simultaneously pivoting back of the tilting frame 14 and further reversing the silo 42 can also be raised.

Sodann wird der Kipprahmen 14 zurück in seine horizontale Lage (wie in Fig. 2a) verschwenkt, bis der Silobehälter 42 waagerecht auf dem Nutzfahrzeug 10 liegt. In diesem Zustand ist der Silobehälter 42 gegen eine Verschiebung bzw. gegen ein Verrutschen in Fahrzeuglängsrichtung durch die Hakeneinrichtung 38 gesichert. Neben einem weiter unten näher erläuterten Aufnahmehaken, der ein Verrutschen des Silobehälters 42 in die rückwärtige Richtung verhindert, weist die Hakeneinrichtung 38 eine ebenfalls weiter unten erläuterte Sicherungsfalle auf, welche verhindert, dass der Silobehälter 42 beispielsweise beim Bremsen nach vorne rutschen kann. Die Hakeneinrichtung 38 dient somit auch zur Sicherung des Silobehälters 42.Then the tilting frame 14 is returned to its horizontal position (as in FIG Fig. 2a ) pivoted until the silo 42 is horizontally on the utility vehicle 10. In this state, the silo 42 is secured against displacement or against slipping in the vehicle longitudinal direction by the hook means 38. In addition to a receiving hook explained in more detail below, which prevents slipping of the silo 42 in the rearward direction, the hook device 38 has a safety latch also explained below, which prevents the silo 42 can slip forward, for example when braking. The hook device 38 thus also serves to secure the silo 42.

Oftmals müssen mehrere Silobehälter 42 transportiert werden. Zu diesem Zweck ist es vorteilhaft, wenn ein zusätzlicher Silobehälter auf einem Anhänger transportiert werden kann.Often several silo containers 42 must be transported. For this purpose, it is advantageous if an additional silo container can be transported on a trailer.

Die Fig. 2e bis 2i veranschaulichen, wie ein von dem Nutzfahrzeug 10 aufgenommener Silobehälter 42 auf einen Anhänger 54 befördert werden kann. Zu diesem Zweck fährt das Nutzfahrzeug 10 rückwärts an ein heckseitiges Ende des Anhängers 54 heran, wie in Fig. 2e dargestellt.The Fig. 2e to 2i illustrate how a silo 42 received by the utility vehicle 10 can be carried onto a trailer 54. For this purpose, the utility vehicle 10 reverses to a rear end of the trailer 54, as in Fig. 2e shown.

Sodann wird der Hydraulikmotor 28 betätigt, so dass sich die Traktionsrolle 30 in drehende Bewegung versetzt und zwar bei einer Blickrichtung, wie in Fig. 2f dargestellt, von der linken Seite des Fahrzeugs 10 aus betrachtet im Uhrzeigersinn. Diese drehende Bewegung der Traktionsrolle 30 führt dazu, dass der Silobehälter 42 vom Nutzfahrzeug 10 in Richtung des Anhängers 54 befördert wird, wie in Fig. 2f dargestellt.Then, the hydraulic motor 28 is actuated so that the traction roller 30 is set in rotary motion in a viewing direction as in FIG Fig. 2f shown, viewed from the left side of the vehicle 10 in a clockwise direction. This rotational movement of the traction roller 30 causes the silo container 42 to be carried by the utility vehicle 10 in the direction of the trailer 54, as in FIG Fig. 2f shown.

Schließlich gelangt der Silobehälter 42 im Wesentlichen vollständig über den Anhänger 54, wobei jedoch noch ein Endabschnitt der Längsstreben 44 des Silobehälters 42 auf der Traktionsrolle 30 aufliegt, wie in Fig. 2g dargestellt.Finally, the silo container 42 passes substantially completely over the trailer 54, but still an end portion of the longitudinal struts 44 of the silo 42 rests on the traction roller 30, as in Fig. 2g shown.

Zum Lösen dieses Aufliegens der Längsstreben 44 auf die Traktionsrolle 30 wird der Kipprahmen 14 wieder in Richtung einer aufrechten Stellung verschwenkt, beispielsweise um 30°, wodurch der hintere Abschnitt 26 des Kipprahmens 14 abgesenkt wird, so dass die Traktionsrolle 30 den Kontakt zu den Längsstreben 44 verliert, wie in Fig. 2h dargestellt.To release this resting of the longitudinal struts 44 on the traction roller 30, the tilting frame 14 is again pivoted in the direction of an upright position, for example by 30 °, whereby the rear portion 26 of the tilting frame 14 is lowered, so that the traction roller 30 makes contact with the longitudinal struts 44th loses, as in Fig. 2h shown.

Sodann fährt das Nutzfahrzeug 10 an einen zweiten Silobehälter 56 heran, lädt diesen zweiten Silobehälter 56 auf und koppelt dann den Anhänger 54 mit aufgeladenem ersten Silobehälter 42 an, um einen Fahrzeugzug bestehend aus dem dann als Zugfahrzeug zu bezeichnenden Nutzfahrzeug 10 und dem Anhänger 54 zu bilden, wie in Fig. 2i dargestellt.The commercial vehicle 10 then approaches a second silo container 56, loads this second silo container 56, and then couples the trailer 54 with the first silo container 42 charged to form a vehicle train consisting of the commercial vehicle 10 and the trailer 54 to be designated as towing vehicle , as in Fig. 2i shown.

Das Abladen und Aufstellen der Silobehälter 42, 56 erfolgt in umgekehrter Reihenfolge.The unloading and setting up of the silo 42, 56 takes place in the reverse order.

Fig. 3 zeigt die oben genannte Hakeneinrichtung 38 in einer Seitenansicht. Die Ausrichtung gemäß Fig. 3 entspricht einer Ausrichtung mit horizontal ausgerichteten Kipprahmen 14 beispielsweise gemäß Fig. 2a. Fig. 3 shows the above-mentioned hook device 38 in a side view. The alignment according to Fig. 3 corresponds to an alignment with horizontally oriented tilting frame 14, for example according to Fig. 2a ,

Die Hakeneinrichtung 38 weist den oben genannten Aufnahmehaken 58 auf, der um eine Achse 60 schwenkbar ist. Die Schwenkbarkeit des Aufnahmehakens 58 wird durch eine entlang eines Kreisbogens verlaufende Nut 62 begrenzt, welche mit einem Zapfen 64 in Eingriff steht. Zapfen 64 und Nut 62 erlauben eine Verschwenkung des Aufnahmehakens 58 um etwa 30°. Der Aufnahmehaken 58 wird mittels eines ersten Pneumatikzylinders 66 verstellt, der innerhalb eines Gehäuses 68 der Hakeneinrichtung 38 angeordnet ist.The hook device 38 has the above-mentioned receiving hook 58, which is pivotable about an axis 60. The pivoting of the receiving hook 58 is limited by a groove 62 running along a circular arc, which engages with a pin 64. Pin 64 and groove 62 allow pivoting of the receiving hook 58 by about 30 °. The receiving hook 58 is adjusted by means of a first pneumatic cylinder 66, which is arranged within a housing 68 of the hook device 38.

Ferner weist die Hakeneinrichtung eine Sicherungsfalle 70 auf, die um eine weitere Achse 72 schwenkbar ist. Die Sicherungsfalle 70 wird mittels eines zweiten Pneumatikzylinders 74 verstellt, der innerhalb des Gehäuses 68 der Hakeneinrichtung 38 angeordnet ist. Die Verschwenkbarkeit der Sicherungsfalle 70 wird einerseits durch Anschlagfläche 76 an der Sicherungsfalle 70 sowie eine korrespondierende Anschlagfläche 78 am Gehäuse in eine Richtung begrenzt. In die andere Richtung erfolgt die Begrenzung durch den zweiten Pneumatikzylinder 74.Furthermore, the hook device has a safety catch 70, which is pivotable about a further axis 72. The safety catch 70 is adjusted by means of a second pneumatic cylinder 74, which is arranged within the housing 68 of the hook device 38. The pivotability of the safety catch 70 is limited on one hand by stop surface 76 on the fuse latch 70 and a corresponding stop surface 78 on the housing in one direction. In the other direction, the limitation is effected by the second pneumatic cylinder 74.

Die Fig. 4a bis 4d veranschaulichen den Betrieb der Hakeneinrichtung 38 gemäß Fig. 3 in Verbindung mit einem Bolzen 40 des Silobehälters 42 in verschiedenen Betriebszuständen:
Fig. 4a zeigt, wie der Bolzen 40 mit den Aufnahmehaken 58 in Eingriff steht und von der Sicherungsfalle 70 gegen ein ungewolltes Herausspringen aus dem Aufnahmehaken 58 gesichert ist. Dieser Betriebszustand des Aufnahmehakens 58, der Sicherungsfalle 70 und des Bolzen 40 liegt beim aufgeladenen Silobehälter 42 auf einem Nutzfahrzeug 10 beispielsweise gemäß Fig. 2d vor.The Fig. 4a to 4d illustrate the operation of the hook device 38 according to FIG Fig. 3 in connection with a bolt 40 of the silo 42 in different operating states:
Fig. 4a shows how the bolt 40 is engaged with the receiving hooks 58 and is secured by the securing latch 70 against accidental jumping out of the receiving hook 58. This operating state of the receiving hook 58, the fuse latch 70 and the bolt 40 is the charged silo 42 on a commercial vehicle 10, for example according to Fig. 2d in front.

Die Fig. 4b bis 4d veranschaulichen, wie der Bolzen 40 von der Hakeneinrichtung 38 freigegeben wird, um ein Bewegen eines Silobehälters 42 vom Zugfahrzeug 10 auf einen Anhänger 54 zu ermöglichen, so wie dies in den Fig. 2e bis 2h dargestellt ist.The Fig. 4b to 4d illustrate how the bolt 40 is released from the hook means 38 to allow movement of a silo container 42 from the tractor 10 to a trailer 54, as shown in FIGS Fig. 2e to 2h is shown.

Hierzu wird zunächst, wie in Fig. 4b dargestellt, der zweite Pneumatikzylinder 74 betätigt und somit die Sicherungsfalle 70 eingefahren, so dass diese Sicherungsfalle 70 nicht mehr aus dem Gehäuse 68 hervorsteht.For this purpose, first, as in Fig. 4b shown, the second pneumatic cylinder 74 is actuated and thus retracted the safety latch 70, so that this safety catch 70 no longer protrudes from the housing 68.

Sodann erfolgt eine Relativbewegung zwischen der Hakeneinrichtung 38 und dem Bolzen 40 derart, dass der Aufnahmehaken 58 nicht mehr in Eingriff mit dem Bolzen 40 steht, wie in Fig. 4c dargestellt. Diese Relativbewegung wird entweder durch eine Verschiebung des Silobehälters 42 mittels der Traktionsrolle 30 oder durch eine Verschiebung des Zwischenrahmens 36 erreicht, an dem die Halteeinrichtung 38 angebracht ist.Then there is a relative movement between the hook device 38 and the bolt 40 such that the receiving hook 58 is no longer in engagement with the bolt 40 stands, as in Fig. 4c shown. This relative movement is achieved either by a displacement of the silo 42 by means of the traction roller 30 or by a displacement of the intermediate frame 36, on which the holding device 38 is mounted.

Sodann wird der erste Pneumatikzylinder 66 betätigt, so dass der Aufnahmehaken 58 nicht mehr gegenüber dem Gehäuse 68 der Hakeneinrichtung 38 hervorsteht, wie in Fig. 4d dargestellt. In diesem Zustand ist der Silobehälter 42 frei gegenüber der Hakeneinrichtung 38 verfahrbar. Somit kann der Silobehälter 42 beispielsweise vom Zugfahrzeug 10 auf einen Anhänger 54 übergeschoben werden, wie beispielsweise in den Fig. 2e bis 2g dargestellt.
In dem Zustand gemäß Fig. 4d arretiert zudem der Aufnahmehaken 58 die Sicherungsfalle 70, die zu diesem Zweck eine gewölbte Ausnehmung 80 für den Aufnahmehaken 58 aufweist.
Der erste Pneumatikzylinder 66 ist derart beschaltet, dass der Aufnahmehaken 58 im entlüfteten Zustand des Pneumatikzylinders 66 insbesondere mittels Federkraft in die Stellung gedrückt wird, in der der Aufnahmehaken 58 nicht aus dem Gehäuse hervorsteht. Im belüfteten Zustand des Pneumatikzylinders 66 wird hingegen der Aufnahmehaken 58 in eine Stellung gedrückt, in der er aus dem Gehäuse hervorsteht.
Der zweite Pneumatikzylinder 74 ist derart beschaltet, dass die Sicherungsfalle 70 im entlüfteten Zustand des Pneumatikzylinders 74 insbesondere mittels Federkraft in die Stellung gedrückt wird, in der die Sicherungsfalle 70 aus dem Gehäuse hervorsteht. Im belüfteten Zustand des Pneumatikzylinders 74 wird hingegen die Sicherungsfalle 70 in eine Stellung gedrückt, in der sie nicht aus dem Gehäuse hervorsteht.Then, the first pneumatic cylinder 66 is actuated, so that the receiving hook 58 no longer protrudes from the housing 68 of the hook device 38, as in Fig. 4d shown. In this state, the silo container 42 is freely movable relative to the hook device 38. Thus, the silo 42 can be pushed over, for example, the towing vehicle 10 on a trailer 54, such as in the Fig. 2e to 2g shown.
In the state according to Fig. 4d In addition, the receiving hook 58 locks the securing catch 70, which has a curved recess 80 for the receiving hook 58 for this purpose.
The first pneumatic cylinder 66 is connected such that the receiving hook 58 is pressed in the vented state of the pneumatic cylinder 66 in particular by means of spring force in the position in which the receiving hook 58 does not protrude from the housing. In the ventilated state of the pneumatic cylinder 66, however, the receiving hook 58 is pressed into a position in which it protrudes from the housing.
The second pneumatic cylinder 74 is connected such that the safety catch 70 is pressed in the vented state of the pneumatic cylinder 74 in particular by means of spring force in the position in which the safety catch 70 protrudes from the housing. In the ventilated state of the pneumatic cylinder 74, however, the fuse latch 70 is pressed into a position in which it does not protrude from the housing.
